Google has announced several goodies over the last couple weeks…

3. Launched MyMaps, as an effort to compete in that market with Ask

5. Acquired DoubleClick, Inc, a global leader in marketing technology and services for $3.1 billion in cash, despite Microsoft’s qualms

8. Launched a new AJAX Feed API - which came at a great time for us (mmm subtle hints)

10. And since I figured I should round the list out to ten, Google’s stock went up 3.21 (.68%) today to reach 476.01 / share.

No idea what they could be up to, but whatever it is, I’m interested. Especially in seeing this phone and how it will compete with the iPhone.

It’s amazing how quickly they move given the size of their company. I’m always impressed!

I agree - they are surprisingly agile for the size. Microsoft should take some management training from them so they can be agile and and produce bloated software (I know, I know - that’s their market).

Funny I posted on StumbleUpon after this and then found out Google had a “roll the dice” option that does the same thing based on your search history.

[...] Just two days ago I wrote a post asking ‘What’s Google up to?‘ - listing ten things they have announced over the last couple weeks. Well apparently I should have waited until today. [...]
